Be VERY VERY careful when you do an emerge world down the road. I just had this bite me bad - and I even took all the "right" steps. By "right" steps, I'm referring to a practice emerge (-p) first, and seeing what would get updated, modifying your USE flags to get rid of packages you don't need/want, doing the emerge, running etc-update or dispatch-conf and examining the differences of EVERY updated config file and taking care not to overwrite your modified files.
I did all of that, and still ended up with a conflict when two complimentary packages were updated but did not cooperate together (specifically Perl and qmail-scanner, and maybe clamav). Otherwise, my update seems to have been rather thorough... Shawn On Wednesday 17 November 2004 13:58, Ian Bruseker wrote: > On Mon, 15 Nov 2004 11:25:50 -0700, Kevin Anderson > You were right.
